“As a parent living in a low-income community, it can sometimes feel like no one is listening to our point of view when it comes to education. That’s why it was so refreshing to participate in a panel this past weekend co-hosted by education reform organization StudentsFirstNY and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. The panel I participated in was part of a larger forum entitled, “A Community Conversation on Building Better Schools,” bringing together parent organizers like me with district and charter parents to discuss what we need to do to improve public schools in the Bronx.”
